alt_narcissaProfessor,
You've no doubt heard from Madam Millingham-Kennilworthy and of course Director Hopkirk regarding the programme they wish to institute to complement the Young Protectors' League. I understand that Master Glaucus Gibbon has agreed to lead up the counterpart on behalf of the Brothers of Purity and I am certain he will have similar questions if perhaps a clearer plan in mind than I have at present.
I write, therefore, to consult your opinion on how best to implement the expectations of the Daughters of the Protectorate while in no way proposing activities that would conflict with planned YPL events. For example, I should think Madam Catchlove would be pleased to provide a tutorial on household charms if her seminar may be arranged on a day when the girls are not otherwise occupied.
But more importantly, I rely on your suggestions for candidates. You have the opportunity to observe the young ladies not only in their lessons but through the various excursions and programmes you have led over the last two years. I met with Eudora earlier this week and we agree that perhaps four to six girls in their third year and anywhere from two to four girls in their second year would be more than enough to begin a pilot programme. Of course, it goes without saying that your recommendations should be of girls who, while half-blooded, show great promise and potential to thrive not only within this programme, but as they are evaluated by the Department of Purity Control to enter into society on their own as full citizens of the Protectorate.
I look forward to working with you over the coming months.
Yours most sincerely,
Narcissa Black Malfoy

Date: 2010-09-18 02:37 pm (UTC)I am delighted to help you - and this project - any way I can. I have indeed heard some of the plans from Madam Millingham-Kennilworthy and Director Hopkirk.
I do suspect Madam Catchlove would be glad to offer something of the kind (she and I were at Hogwarts at the same time, so if you'd prefer a personal letter of request, I'd be glad to send a note to her as well.)
I've just finished confirming plans for the YPL events for this year: there are no schedule changes from the tentative dates listed on the calendar distributed to the Board over the summer. If you'd like an additional copy, I'd be glad to send one along. In general, Saturdays seem to be preferable, and any date which does not include a YPL meeting or Hogsmeade weekend should avoid significant conflicts.
In terms of suggestions, let me think on that for a day or so. I'd like to review my own notes, and also in a few cases to have a word with their head of house or another teacher to confirm my own observations.
As far as other planning: if it would be helpful to you to meet, I'd be glad to do so. Generally, the best time for me is either on a weekend without other Hogwarts commitments, or between about four in the afternoon and eight or nine in the evening during the week (as, of course, I teach those evenings.)
I do look forward to working with you, and I'm very glad that you're willing to lend your presence and effort to supporting promising half-bloods.
